Egor Demin has PLENTY of buzz ahead of NBA Draft

Coming up, the Brooklyn Nets and every NBA team are preparing for the draft next month, but we take a look at the impact of selecting player X at eighth overall and how you make sure it’s the best positional value throughout this very deep draft class. We do that, plus talk a little post combine chatter. All coming up next. [Music] You are Locked on Nets, your daily Brooklyn Nets podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network. Your team every day. Ah, yes, my friends. It is the Locked on Nets podcast right here on the Locked On Podcast Network. It’s your team, the Brooklyn Nets. Every single day, he’s Doug Nory. I’m Adam Marbick. We thank you as always for making us your first listen of the day. We are 100% free on all those great platforms. And buddy, as we wind down our time, we ramp up the timeline for the Brooklyn Nets and making key decisions here. The the draft board continues to evolve and I think we need to have a discussion about which positions you’re still taking a swing on at eight and whether or not there are better, deeper, more interesting options later in the first round. Yeah, it’s going to be fascinating to see how this works out because there’s going to be good players here at eight for sure. We’ve been down this road many times now with like who is gonna kind of be available and the player archetype is all over the place with who you I think who they’re going to be able to get and there’s going to be a version of guy that might be like sort of like a board mockdraft chalky kind of guy and then there’s going to be higher upside swing archetypes that exist in like the teens which you could maybe make a case if you just if you internally just you know rated them very very high. I I’m tell telling you right now, some of these guys are going to show up on some of these internal boards like this guy is actually like our seventh guy and it’s not going to be someone like that’s currently sitting in the way mock drafts are done. And you know, internal analytic teams, I mean, clearly are like never going to tell you what these who these guys are because that’s proprietary information and almost every team at this point is probably running I mean just definitely running or should be at least some kind of proprietary model of themselves that just internally evaluates to these guys and they’re just not telling ESPN about it for sure. You know what I mean? Like because that would just undo it would undo all the value of it, right? So all these and but then there’s also this piece where you know they internally evaluate a guy but everyone else has him at 30. They have him at 10 and everyone else has a 30 and if you’re the Nets you’re like well maybe we can wait till 19 to get them right. So there’s like there’s just lots of pushes and pulls around things that can happen here. Every year we see guys drafted over slot because either something happened in their process that jumped the guy up aboard or they have some kind of again internal metric that said this is just where this guy is going to get taken. We’re not going to have another chance to take this person so now we’re just going to draft him like and sometimes it’s Jed Howard and it’s like that might not work out. And sometimes it’s Balak Koulali and you’re like that looks like it’s going to work out right. And there’s just lots of other examples through the years of guys who like oh that’s not where we thought they were going. They went. Sometimes it’s a swing and miss and sometimes it’s a swing. But it’s all born out of something. This isn’t just like these teams just have a dart board and they’re like bang jet Howard, you know, like that’s where the dart land. No, this is all they all have processes that are different. And I think this draft is going to set itself up for you’ll never get the exact numbers, but it’s going to be an internal process draft and and you’re going to see the board fluctuate wildly all the way up to draft day, I think. No, 100%. One thing that I have seen that I found interesting and I wonder it’s like we’ve talked about Jeremiah fears we tal you know for the Brooklyn Nets as a fit but also just where he’s been kind of on draft boards and he certainly moved himself up and into that top 10 and now it feels like he’s right there in that top seven kind of conversation even more so. Trey Johnson’s another guy that seems to be pushing up there. And those are, you know, you talk about in a deep draft class and we talk about from a Nets perspective, big swing opportunities potentially at eight because of where you’re picking. Whereas other teams though, you think about the Washington Wizards and what they’re going to do. They need scoring. Like certain teams I just think do model to be like, but these guys check like the, you know, the most of the boxes in this thing that we need them to do. So I do start to wonder about, we talk about the fluidity, as you say, and I, we said this before that it kind of starts rated around the eighth pick. I think like the longer the closer we get to the draft is the more that for all the tiers that there are Cooper flag and then getting into Harper obviously the edgecomb the Bailey okay great but even that that next little clump does seem to be defining itself a little bit and the examples I gave there are fears of Trey Johnson versus maybe like a Kona nipple versus a Mollyok like those guys talk about them fondly you talk about young age and still developmental and all the areas they can expand but there’s enough of a question mark I think in certain areas you say yes, but if we’re pushing or pulling between these picks, it’s going to feel a little bit different. Does that seem specifically to Johnson and fears? Does that feel right to you in that regard when we talk about like that five, six, seven, and working towards eight that maybe those two players just have like kind of, you know, the sizzle of fe the sizzle impact of being in that range if you’re drafting and having your fan base get excited that you’re taking them? Yeah, I I think it’s e I think that’s true. And I think it’s easy to see why because players that can do a lot of cool stuff with the ball tend to be more exciting to sort of dream on, right? Like guys who can, you know, that are just straight up like super, you know, athletic point guards that can get to the rim or guys like Trey Johnson that can maybe just score from everywhere. that’s a little bit more pleasing to the eye than maybe Amalia watch or someone like that who it’s like well he’s going to be a center and he’s going to be a project and he just started playing basketball you know 10 minutes ago and like look how far he’s come but like so I I get why that kind of player one can like move up draft boards but also it would just be more exciting for a fan base to dream on and so even when we asked you know Nets fans out there like you know who would you have like Jeremiah Ferus was one of these overwhelming guys like Trey or um Uh, oh jeez, who’s the other guy? Uh, oh, Trey Johnson. Yeah, for some reason I was saying T. We’re going there. Yeah, I was saying that and I was like, it just sounded wrong for me for a second. But, um, like the or like or if he falls, we’ll get this guy. It makes sense why those two guys kind of get I don’t know sexier. I don’t know what the word for it is, but it’s like more exciting because you can just sort of picture what they’re going to do right away when they get there. And some of these other like kindipple. It’s like, well, he’s like kind of good at everything but not great at anything. And it’s like, I don’t know. And then you well yeah it’s like exciting sort of but it’s not exciting in like the highlight reel version of like what a lot of people want which by the way is worth a lot. If you can be a highlight reel it means you’re a good player and so it’s not like those are just empty kind of calories or anything like that. It’s like it’s real basketball stuff. So I can see why those players tend to one be able to like move up boards in terms of fears. He’s moved up you know considerably. Um Trey Johnson’s kind of stuck around here in this range for sort of most of the process over the last year. I think he he kind of hasn’t moved too much, but he’s off a little and then like came back up maybe off the combine a little, right? Like re reminded everyone like no no this is all the stuff that I can do, right? Yeah, cuz the combine was like out of this world. Like he just like made everything and he’s like oh right okay well this translates like and this this is something that can play at the NBA level. The guy just can make any shot from anywhere on the court. And so, and I think that might could put the Met Nets in in a weird spot at eight because there’s going to be a guy that’s going to be a really really good basketball player, but it might not be as readily apparent about all the different ways they can add value or make it into a sort of a winning archetype as it goes. And I think it’s just going to be the theme going from now till whenever the draft. I don’t when is the draft? I should know this off the top of my head. Um, but you know, when the draft is, you know, in weeks and weeks from now where we’re going to see the board move around a lot. we’re going to and then we’re just going to see certain players that are just kind of considerably more exciting than others. But they’re al also a group in the teens that’s like has like exciting capabilities to them too, especially where like sort of the way they go about playing the game that you can talk yourself into. June 25th, 26, we’ll see the NBA draft get underway. Obviously, listen, when you’re wrapping up your time on the network, you’re as dedicated as ever, but also, you know, if it happens after we’re done doing the show, we have some other plans we’re maybe making around those days. Now, um, coming up here in a second, to your point that you just made there at the end, there are these guys, you know, around eight, 8 to 10, 14, in those teen ranges, end of the lottery and back that are intriguing. So, it became interesting to me to take a look at if you’re thinking about player X at number eight, you also have to consider what those other options are at those positions when you’re picking at 19, when you’re picking at 26 and 27. How do you get the most value, the most bang for your buck at every single pick along the way? I’ll offer up a player that came out of the combine with a lot of heat on his name and whether or not it’s deserving of consideration at 8. We’ll do that here in just one moment. All right, before that tell you about our friends over at Wayfair.

All right, as we continue today’s lockdown Nets episode talking about the draft, wouldn’t you know it, and what the Brooklyn Nets can do here. So, there’s we’re going to kind of jump in here if you’re watching on YouTube. Couple of bullet points coming up. I wanted to do this comparison of positional value, but it’s also worth I’ll throw in the name of Eric Demen, Eigor Demond. Eric, you that would have been an interesting one. Igor Deon who came out of the combine being like, “This guy has he has the size. He can certainly be a passer and an orchestrator for your offense, but some questions.” And then it’s like combine between the actual production on the court and what he showed and then by and large most consensus from GMs and front office people been like and the interview process was incredible too. I think when we talk about international players, there’s always that style of game that comes into play here. But if we use him as the first example, you’re picking at eight and you talk about like the positional value of what the players are that that you could be talking about. So let’s assume that Jeremiah Fears is gone by the time the Nets are picking there. We talked about Yakionis before and actually kind of coming back around to him being a really intriguing one even for the Nets there at eight, though he lives closer to maybe 10 on most boards. But then it’s Demen, then it’s Trayori that we’ve talked about, maybe Saraf, we we’ve mentioned him before, too. And you get into the later rounds relative to the rest of that positional value. Do you think like a player of Igor Demon’s caliber, Yakion is both bigger guys, you know, orchestrators for offenses, does it get to a point where you go, well, this might be the type of player to swing on here because other positions we can make cases for guys at 19, at 26, and 27 and still getting great value and upside in those spots. Yeah. See, I think at one point I would have said go for the most versatile positional value that because you can mix and match it with everything. And then at the same time, I’m kind of like coming around on the idea that maybe I mean all it should really always just be best player available. Like whoever you think is just going to be the best because if and that’s really it. And if you just think the player is just going to be the best, it shouldn’t matter if like they’re kind of hamstrung. They’re kind of jammed into one one in one position only. The reason I say that is because it’s gonna your whole team’s going to matter anyway, right? And at that because you like we’ve seen from these play I’m going to use these playoffs as an example here in a second, but like your whole team’s going to matter no matter what. So it’s you’re already going to need to fill out the other four to six roles that are going to end up going. We’ve also seen these playoffs play in a way where it’s like well some of these teams best players are just positionally like slotted into only one position. Like Brunson’s just a point guard. Hallebertton’s just a point guard. Shay is just a point guard. Like, okay, so there’s three great point guards and their team, that’s three out of the four Easter uh conference final teams. Then you even get guys like Cat. Well, it’s like, well, Cat’s like pretty much a five. He’s got some flaws, but I don’t know. He’s the second best player on an Eastern Conference Finals team. And even with the flaws, like he just absolutely showed out against won the game for the Knicks the other night um by just going completely completely ham in the third quarter. And so, it’s like, okay, well, these guys are all just one position only. So it’s like just take the best player and fill out everything else around it and still hope you have these sort of like star guys that are going to be there. So I think there was a time where I always said like three, you know, a wing creator is the very best thing you can have. I still believe that. But it’s hard to look at like who the teams are left and say that because that’s not what’s happening on all these teams. It’s like all these teams don’t their best player isn’t a wing creator. best players are basically a point guard and then Ant who’s like a combo guard shooting basically a shooting guard and he plays sick defense and he’s like a little bit different um maybe he’s like a wing creator I don’t really know but like you know what I mean it’s just not you know Tatum’s gone like you know LeBron forever was like this kind of like wing creator guy like there’s just like these guys that just play play up huge body and they’re also just have like sick offensive games but I don’t know that’s just not how it’s playing out in these playoffs so I don’t really know sort of what to make of it and it’s like have really great player, have a pretty good number two, and have no holes the rest of the way, and you can and get lucky with injuries, and you can kind of be here, right? I don’t know. Like, I’m kind of maybe reevaluating how I think about this. Well, and so, okay. So, from that standpoint, like I I think I’m following I’m think I’m following you in your line in your line here in your thought process of around like, so that would mean stop me dead right here. If it was like if Molly Watch is there at eight, that’s not the pick for the Brooklyn Nets because while he may be the best player available, whatever on the board technically, it wouldn’t represent the it wouldn’t represent that version of you’re talking about, right? Just have like your number one, a really good number two, and a bunch of these pieces. But I would struggle to think that that version of that player if the shot doesn’t come around the offensive game, you’d be like, “Okay, great. We have this awesome anchoring player. He’s gotten some comps to like Rudy Goldber.” go, well, I don’t think I want Rooney Gobber to ever be my best player. Now, once you get, you know, Ant, then all of a sudden it makes your team feel a little bit different. And then you bring in a guy like Julius Randle, right? Like, so you start to evolve it. So, that’s where I like I bring up guys like Demond or some of these other names. And like it’s like even Derek Queen who’s kind of like floated and now seems to be falling a little bit like towards 10 and maybe a little beyond because I think it’s that that question you’re speaking to of like whoever you’re taking at eight, your first pick, it has to be the guy that feels like it checks that first box. You need all those other pieces to fill it out. But I I don’t know if you can be I think maybe I’m going against you here. I know I’m stumbling. Maybe it’s like the jack of all but master of none kind of is maybe the better version of what you do there at eight. And then you think about these other pieces that are going to fill in or kind of specialized a little more which would drastically shift how you built your board after you get past the chalk players one through you know one two through four through five six or seven. Then I think that’s why it opens up so much based on how you think you want to build it out. What’s your centerpiece going to be? I don’t think Molly Watch for me would be like he’s the cornerstone piece of our team as opposed to maybe listening to some of these other guys and where they could be a year or two from now. I mean based on the archetypes we said is the best player on a championship team level team like none of those guys fit the bill for sure now. you still need all the other guys too. And so and the other guys had to be good. Like Chad’s awesome, you know, like and um and I said Cat and I neither of those guys are like, you know, project to be Cat, but like Cat’s a great player. He’s got some flaws, but he’s a for sure great player. Um you know, and then you you mentioned Goar and then whom I miss. And then like, you know, on the Pacers side, yeah, you know, you need a Miles Turner, you need a Pascal Siaka, but like you know, you need these other guys. And we did see the, you know, the Pacers offense just kind of fell apart in the third quarter of uh and that we’re recording this last night’s game because they just didn’t have like sort of a place to go. The offense was just complete and utter utter utter mess for like right, you know, 24 creator, right? And because they didn’t have that guy, but none of those guys you mentioned, Malia Queen would have solved those problems either. So, it’s like hard to envision those guys being Yes. No, they are not going to be the centerpiece of a championship team. I think we can say that pretty clearly. You do need guys like this though at some point. So, it’s just a hard the math problem’s hard. You should always see best player available. And but in terms of like what we look at for teams that build championship cores, they are built on a guy who can be the engine of an offense when everything else goes wrong. Like that’s you do need that. I you know sometimes we kind of couch that into oh this is a top five player or whatever. And I think before we use that as sort of like a heristic for for anchoring around where you need it, but I think I would amend that to a little bit say you need an offensive engine that when all the chips are down, this guy can just go get a bucket. Brunson can 100% do that. Ant can do that. Shay can do that. Like these guys can go out and do those things. And you do you for sure I don’t know who they don’t have to be a top five guy, but you need to have that guy to win. you like you and and those guys usually aren’t centers that except for Joic basically like they’re not none of those guys exactly those guys just aren’t centers so you just need offensive engines that can you can put the ball in your hands and you be like he’s when Brunson gets the ball I’m like convinced the Knicks are going to win like if the Knicks like like when he touches the ball late in games I’m just 100% convinced the Knicks are going to win the game because he just has whatever that is he has that 100%. And if you’ve mentioned like Dererick Queen and come on Molly while you watch and the guys like this, I don’t see that. Maybe maybe Fears is like that to you. And if he is, then maybe that’s the guy like maybe that’s just me coming full circle here. Or maybe some of these on ball creator guys are like this. I think I could probably say who they aren’t though in the draft if we’re just like trying to couch it that way. Um maybe that’s what you’re get you’re driving at and that’s coming up here in a second. Let’s take a look at let’s assume Jeremiah Fears is off the board, right? Let’s assume Trey Johnson’s going to be off the board here. Let’s build it. What guys are not capable or at least projected capable we think of being that player for the Brooklyn Nets? How does it shift things from eight, let’s say, all the way out through the lottery at 14 and whether or not a player we once talked about a lot in a sen is not necessarily deserving of that pick because the baseline doesn’t necessarily exist to justify it right now. Maybe it will in a couple years, but not right now. We’ll do that here to close things out in just one moment. All right, as we tie a Pretty Little Bow in today’s Locked Onet episode, we of course remind you that this will be our final week on the show, but the feed will go on. Doug says it at the end. There will be great coverage. The announcement will be coming up here at the end of the week as well. So, you know, you’re going to be in good hands heading towards the draft. We always want to remind everybody of that. Now, if we look at this board, I mean, let’s talk about Demen. Let’s talk about uh Yakionis. One of the things about Jonas that I will say for him coming out of the combine, they they reiterated the fact that he had a a forearm injury on the in the back half of the season that took him from being a near 38% three-point shooter to end up being closer to like 30 31%. Right? So that that skewed a little bit, but who else if Fears and Johnson are not there? Who is the on ball? who are give me two or three guys that are on ball and take it as far back towards 20 as you need to to say these are the two or three players that we believe are capable of that because I think those two that I just mentioned have to be probably in the short list and then you also extrapolate out the value of the size you know positional size value that could be nice for the Nets in need of an orchestrator on their offense. Well, hilariously one guy that is like this is Nick Clifford. He’s not going to get drafted here because he’s like 55 years old. But the um like but he actually does fit that bill. It’s like I I feel like he is kind of like that sort of guy to some degree. He’s just so 19 like you know it’s been mocked a couple times and then like 26 like they are he’s on the Nets board. It’s hard for us to talk about at 23 plus years old but because the the mold of player does make sense. So I mean who the guy is is a little hard and and if we were sure about it they would be top five picks, right? So like we have to couch this by saying this. We did. We did say this with Yakushion at the time. I I’m pretty sure on our pod that we’re like he was injured and that was what drove the I’m almost I Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’m positive we said that. I’m positive we said like that drove the shooting down and if the shooting had stay stayed there with him at 66 or whatever, maybe he’s starting to look like that guy. He probably fits the bill. I think like the Senate could probably get there at some point as like a wing creator maybe. Um yeah, it’s like hard. Like I think Deon could too. Like the shooting comes around. He’s got the size. He has the vision. Vision counts here too in terms of like a late late late ball a late game with the ball because like you need to be able to you need to be able to score, but you also need to be able to keep defenses honest that you will find someone open if they like dig down on you or they bring help or someone like that. And like he’s the kind of guy that’s like okay if you have to bring extra help like he’s going to actually punish you because he’s got the size to see over some doubles and he has vision to get there. So I think like he probably fits the bill to some degree. I think those guys are for sure there. I mean, like guys that probably aren’t there are like Jace Richardson. Yep. People love CMBB. Maybe CMBB is like just so good on defense and maybe he’s just such a force around the basket that like maybe you get there. Carter Bryant like maybe there are guys here like they just have to like Trayori probably not. Sorber definitely not right. Like I can say the guys McNeely pro definitely not. Like so I can I think I can say the guys that definitely don’t get there on it. And I get the guys that I can probably some stuff would need to go right but as all of our it’s a lottery bros will tell us all the time. All those guys that I mentioned before like Shay Brunson Hallebertton were not top five picks either and had a need to have haded to have a lot of stuff go right for them over the years. Right. And so but they all but again they fit the same archetype of kind of guys who can have the ball and they kind of do stuff. And even Hallebertton’s like not perfect like this. Like it’s it’s it’s not exactly like he’s not like those other guys really. I really probably shouldn’t slot them. He’s not in the SGA and Brunson version of I’m gonna get you on my hip and you’re dead because I was going to say because there’s that you you go back to game one or game two. I think it’s game one of that series. You know, it’s a great shot where Hallebertton pulls back out and toes on the line. So it ends up being a two, not a three and they go to overtime. But also part of the reason why he’s circling back to the to the perimeter is because he wasn’t blowing by somebody and getting at the basket the way you talk about when someone’s on your hip and completing that move and being able to get to the rim consistently. Now, by the way, he’s still awesome and he still did exactly what you needed him to do by by getting that game tied and pushing it to overtime. But those are kind of the fine lines we’re talking about here. So, what you see what I’ll take away from that is as you mentioned, so that we just ran through that list. I think you’re right, these are the guys that aren’t there on that list. And I said this about we’re talking about on ball guys, but I also because we mentioned Molly watch. If you think about the center position, it’s like okay, so I’m using tankathon right now, but Molly watch is listed at six. Queen’s listed at eight. I think he’s a little bit lower on most consensus boards now. Then it’s Behringer at 20. Danny Wolf for whatever we talk about, although he had a good combine as well, he’s listed at 23. You get into our boy Renard, he’s now currently listed at 38, though I think he’s up into that first round conversation as well. Like what is the difference between what we see in Molly watch at six versus what we think about it’s hard like Danny Wolf some people say oh there’s tremendous value there we’re not we’re not making that leap necessarily with him but what about a floor stretching big like Renard who’s come around here and now all of a sudden bubbles up right like this to me is the front office I I you love to have all the picks and it’s also probably agonizing for everything we keep talking about it’s like everyone’s going to judge you had so many opportunities and if you don’t hit on half of those you know you have four picks you need, they don’t have to be superstars, but two out of your four guys, one of them probably needs to be a star, right? That eighth pick, you’d hope it would be. You hope that 19 has a good chance to be a big high level star, but even 26 and 27, you’re still saying, “We want these guys to be rotational contributors.” Like, we’re not sitting here throwing darts at the back end of a deep class in the first round. Like, we want these guys to represent the bulk of our new core moving forward potentially. And that’s where I find it interesting. when we think about centers and bigs here because all these guys some of them everyone does something interesting or well individually but every one of those guys has big question marks and that’s where I find it fascinating for Brooklyn about they’ve always needed size they’ve always needed more in the front court but there’s a lot of this kind of value in some unique pieces like we talk about large size in the back court or just shooters like pure pure pure guys that can get a little something off the dribble we talked about Liam McNeely before getting towards 20 right like I I find it fascinating to see how you try to build this out. Yeah. I mean, in the what could go right category, if you look at it this way, you’re like, is it unrealistic? Sure. But could you just have could you literally draft your starting five in two years? Like it could like you have five picks. There’s f they have five picks in the top 30. Was the last pick? 36. 36. Five picks in the top 36. It’s never happens this way, so it’s unlikely, but five picks in a deep draft. There’s a world where you just absolutely hit the nuts and you just dra and like this like you just have your starting five. Now again very unlikely and archetypes are going to matter and like all these guys three of your starters and the other two are great bench players, right? Like three-fifths of your starting five you get in this first round and you also get your your your sixman off the bench and another key contributor, right? like that that and like Clowny and Clowny progresses and Clown is the same age as a lot of these guys and Dariq Whitehead kind of shows builds off what he did at the end of last year and now all of a sudden you just have court and Cam Thomas like if they resign him we’ll see like and you just have eight guys and like I think you know everyone I I trend you know sort of to the negative side of this a lot of times or negative realistic like I’m not sure which one’s the better word probably some combination of the two but again like the what could go right category for a year is a deep draft. They nail it and you just have a core you have core rotational pieces all the way through and one of these guys gets there in how we describe like sort of what you need for a championship level team. So I don’t know it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they nail three of these five picks and you just and you combine them with what they already have and the Nets are the trajectory is just totally different going forward into next year and then beyond. I think that’s a fair fairly realistic scenario. It’s not unrealistic, right? And that’s a nice place to be. They they didn’t get they didn’t nail it in terms of like getting that top two draft pick that everyone wanted because they still would have had these other picks too and then you really would have been able to picture it. Um, so it takes a little more squinting to see it now, but it’s not out of the realm that they walk away from this and being like the the core is just like really good. And I think if you’re a Nets fan, you got to feel pretty good about that. Okay, we’re going to go a little bit more into the draft later on this week. Oh, you got one more thing. Hit it. No, no. And just letting everybody mind everybody know, we talked about this off podcast. Uh, as we get to our our final episode, which will still be a fan take Friday as we close things out, it’s going to be about what is the Brooklyn Nets franchise over the next five years. We we’ll leave you casting you off on a beautiful voyage to success and accolades, but everyone can think about that for themselves and where we’ll all sitting five years from now after the Nets have all of these draft picks. So, just something that we’re going to be I’m excited to close out the show that where we kind of project forward what will be the case for Brooklyn. Um, and then also talking draft obviously. I was going to make a joke about where I’ll be sitting, but I’ll wait. I’ll say that till Friday. All right, we’re going to get out of here. Make sure you like and subscribe to these feeds.

One of the all-time great poets. Uh we’ll back in tomorrow talking more Brooklyn Nets basketball. Basketball. Basketball. Basketball. Basketball. Bill Waters. Basketball. Basketball. Basketball. Yeah.

The guys look at the continued impact of the combine, where the board stands, and answering the question of WHO will the pick be at 8 if the likes of of Tre Johnson and Jeremiah Fears are gone.
